Well i was one of a few members that was asked to test this new chassis. It is from a company in Japan and the chassis name is Arrows. The first thing i noticed when i recieved it, was how small and light the chassis is. The design of the chassis is great but there was some burs on the small corner cuts. That issue was brought up to the designer SAVER and he said it would be taking care of when its time for production, the reason for the burs is all prototypes were dry cut. I decided to make a skid for this chassis that would triangulate bottom links.

Parts List:
Arrows Chassis
HR MOA Axles
Mayhem 7's
Chissel 2 stage foam
Mamba Max ESC
45t Integy x2
JR 8711
Dig switch tray
Fubar Rear Lock Out
DX3R
Spectrum 3100 rx
Castle BEC
3c 1500 Lipo

It looks like it will work a little more better for shafties than MOA.(simular to the black widow, and axial chassis). Just My 2 pennys.

What will you be running under this?

JaynDrea · 03-30-2009, 05:23 AM

What are the black rods? Links or braces? Just wondering...

4xFord · 03-30-2009, 02:33 PM

Looks like chassis braces and a very short skid drilled for lots of axial trans mounting options. Looks interesting.

yes it is a very interesting chassis and yes the skid is for the axial tranny, but i made my own skid no tranny needed

started out by making a triangulated link skid and some bottom links. i used 3/8 delrin rod, revo rodends with 4mm set screws. fronts are 90 mm and rears are 96mm.

drill link bushing such a time saver

Top and bottom links installed. The Revo shocks are so smooth and they seem to fit perfect with this chassis.

Looks like a nice chassis. How long before these become main stream and the rest of us can get our hands on them? Will there be any North American distributors?

Should be soon its in testing stage now so as soon as other testers give there feed back and designer SAVER makes changes they will be ready. I hear it is going to be offered at a great price too

finishline · 03-31-2009, 11:29 PM

Thank you^^
Im glad

finishline · 04-03-2009, 12:58 AM

Made a electroncis tray across the top of the chassis, helps hide all those damn wires

Mounted the body and it was a rap. I just want to thank SAVER for hooking up the chassis

got to test it alittle at home and i was impressed with it and really liked how the revo shocks felt. hopefully get to take it out this weekend and put it to the test

bcrofts · 04-03-2009, 10:19 AM

Looking good.

thanks i thought so too.

Got to run the rig tonight and it performed good for its first trip out. I was not to happy with the center ground clearance so im going to have to do something about that, but all else did great. As much as i like the revo shocks and how smooth they are i think im going to have to change them out to gain some more ground clearance.

Too much short revo shoks?
If you want not change shocks.

If you teach me change hole posision.
